Nevsun Resources Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Zijin Mining Group Company Limited

Nevsun Resources Limited, headquartered in Canada, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Zijin Mining Group Company Limited, which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, Nevsun Resources has not established any documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The absence of specific emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing its climate strategy. Given its relationship with Zijin Mining Group, any future emissions data or climate commitments may be informed by the parent company's initiatives. However, no specific emissions figures or targets have been cascaded from Zijin Mining Group to Nevsun Resources at this time. In summary, Nevsun Resources Limited is currently lacking in detailed emissions reporting and climate commitments, with potential future developments contingent on its parent company's strategies.
